In an exquisite pavilion, Zhang Xi and the other leaders of the Zhao Kingdom's five sects were sitting around a tea table. Each of them had a cup of fragrant tea in front of them, but none of them drank it. Everyone had an absent-minded expression on their faces. Ω Li See? C? Li???? ノ? | ?? d?? E …
Li Yunfei broke the silence and asked with a solemn expression, "Fellow Daoists, you've all seen it today. After Wang Changsheng used a secret talisman, he transformed into a demon beast. Not only did his abilities greatly increase, but he also relied on the demon beast's powerful body to make it difficult for magic treasures to injure him. Tell me, do you think we can continue fighting?"
A white-robed old man hesitated for a moment and said with uncertainty, "As long as our Yuanying cultivators don't act, we should be able to stop the four sects since we have more low-grade disciples than the four sects of the State of Qi."
"Should? Fellow Daoist Sun, if you were the leader of the four Devil Dao sects, would you let the low-grade cultivators decide the war? Don't forget, this time it's not just the four Devil Dao sects that are acting, but all the Devil Dao sects in the Eastern Yu Kingdom are invading the countries where the Righteous Dao sects are located. So what if we defeat the four sects of the State of Qi? With Mu Yunxuan's status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to unite the Devil Dao sects of the other countries to invade the State of Wu. Now that the neighboring countries of the State of Wu have been invaded by the Devil Dao sects, won't they attack the State of Wu after they conquer the neighboring countries? "Li Yunfei sneered and said without any trace of politeness.
"If that's the case, we only have two paths before us. The first is to join the four Devil Dao sects, and the second is to withdraw from the State of Wu." Zhang Xi's expression became serious and he spoke with a serious tone.
Hearing this, Shangguan Yu and the others' expressions became uncertain.
Shangguan Yu pondered for a moment and her beautiful eyes flashed with determination as she said, "Little M doesn't want to submit to others. I plan to move the sect to the State of Southern Tang. The State of Southern Tang's Grandmaster Ku Sang is a late-stage Yuanying cultivator. I don't think the Devil Dao sects would dare to invade the State of Southern Tang. What do you think?"
"The Old Man is also not interested in looking at other people's faces. The Old Man is also willing to move the Sect to the Southern Tang Country." A dignified white-robed old man nodded in agreement.
"This old woman is also willing to move the Sect to the Southern Tang Country. Our Supreme Truth Sect is not willing to wallow in evil with the Devil Dao." An old woman with a face full of wrinkles said in a deep voice.
Zhang Xi nodded and said, "The Old Man is also willing to move the Sect to the Southern Tang Country. But now that the two armies are at war, we can't do that. We can only send a message to the rear first to let them organize the Sect affairs and wait for the evacuation."
"Should we inform the Four Great Sects of the Martial Kingdom?" Li Yun Fei hesitated for a moment before asking. s3();
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you confused? If they also evacuate and the Four Great Sects of the Devil Dao catch up, do you think we can safely leave the Martial Kingdom? I don't think we need to inform them. Humph, since the start of the war, they already know we need to increase our manpower. Our Five Great Sects have taken out a large amount of resources, but not much has fallen on our disciples. The Four Great Sects of the Martial Kingdom clearly want to weaken our strength. Their wild ambitions are obvious. Let them stay and block the Four Great Sects of the Devil Dao! This way, our chances of escaping will be greater. "Shangguan Yu's eyebrows wrinkled as she spat out each word.
"Sending a message to the rear to organize the Sect affairs isn't a problem, but our Five Great Sects have a lot of disciples. If we want to hide it from the Four Great Sects of the Martial Kingdom and quietly evacuate the Martial Kingdom, I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Zhang Xi said with a frown.
"Hehe, our Hundred Skills Sect is in charge of half of the city's restrictions. We can take advantage of the night to quietly open the restrictions and leave with our disciples. Of course, in order to prevent information from leaking out, each Sect is only allowed to bring a hundred disciples. The rest will stay here to confuse the Four Great Sects." Li Yun Fei laughed mischievously as he said this.
"This matter can be hidden for a while, but it won't be hidden for long. If the Four Great Sects of the Martial Kingdom discover that we are evacuating, they will definitely follow us and the Four Great Sects of the Devil Dao will also catch up. What should we do then?"
"Humph, isn't this easy? When we evacuate, we will attack the Four Great Sects of the Devil Dao. As long as we make some noise, the Four Great Sects of the Martial Kingdom will definitely be on high alert. At that time, if the Four Great Sects of the Martial Kingdom make a move, the Four Great Sects of the Devil Dao will discover us. They simply won't be able to quietly evacuate from the front line. At that time, we can safely return to our encampment and evacuate the Martial Kingdom. "As he finished speaking, Li Yun Fei's face revealed an excited expression.
"Okay, let's do it!" Zhang Xi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Shangguan Yu and the other two didn't object. In the face of interests, they made the same choice as the Four Great Sects of the Martial Kingdom. They abandoned their comrades who had fought together with them and fled alone.
… …
Early the next morning, a group of cultivators flew out from the two giant cities.
Wang Changsheng didn't need to be involved in such a trivial matter as exchanging captives. Chen Hai of the Yiluo Sect was fully responsible for it, and Shen Yi was responsible for the Martial Kingdom.
Although it was just exchanging captives, after yesterday's battle, the Nine Great Sects of the Martial Kingdom were frightened and didn't dare to stop for a moment. Shen Yi stopped more than a hundred feet away from the giant city of White Se. Zhang Xi and the others were waiting on the city wall, their faces full of vigilance.
Shen Yi stepped on a red scroll painting. Behind him, hundreds of disciples of the Four Great Sects of the Devil Dao gathered together. Their hands and feet were chained, and some of the disciples were scarred. Obviously, they had been tortured a lot.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, are these all the captives you caught? You won't detain some of our disciples, will you? "Chen Hai glanced at the Devil Dao cultivators behind Shen Yi and said with a frown.
"We only caught so many captives. What's the benefit of detaining your disciples? We're still guarding. There are only so many captives. Are you exchanging or not? "Shen Yi said with some impatience.
"Humph, we'll keep your disciples anyway. Since it's a waste of manpower and material resources, let's just exchange them!" Chen Hai snorted, waved his hand, and said coldly.
Both sides untied the chains on the captives' hands and feet and let them fly back to their respective camps.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, since we're exchanging our disciples, let's continue to fight after tomorrow!" Chen Hai said with a smile.
"Let's fight. I'm not afraid of you!" Shen Yi agreed and made a gesture with one hand. The red scroll painting under his feet suddenly glowed red and flew back to the giant city of White Se with a group of people. s3();
Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Chen Hai's eyes. He flew back to the giant city of Black Se with hundreds of captives and dozens of disciples.
"Fellow Daoists, I'll interrogate these disciples first. After confirming that there's no problem, I'll let them return to their respective factions. Do you have any objections?" Shen Yi said with an indifferent expression.
"This is what we discussed yesterday. Fellow Daoist Shen, just do as you please. We believe that you'll treat every captive fairly," Zhang Xi said calmly.
"That's good. Someone come and take them away first." Shen Yi nodded his head and let someone take away the disciples that J had brought back.
"Fellow Daoists, Fellow Daoist Hua is waiting for us in the Assembly Hall. He has something to discuss with you. Please." Shen Yi made an inviting gesture and flew toward the Assembly Hall.
Zhang Xi and the other four looked at each other and chased after him.
After arriving at the Assembly Hall, Hua Feiwu told Zhang Xi and the other four about the peace talks.
"Peace talks?" Zhang Xi's expression changed when he heard this.
If peace talks were possible, they wouldn't have to secretly withdraw from the front line. They could withdraw their manpower and withdraw from Wu Country with great fanfare and minimize their losses. After all, according to their original plan, they would have to abandon some of their disciples.
"That's right. Fighting back and forth will only consume our strength. Instead of fighting all the time, why don't we negotiate peace with the four demonic sects and preserve our strength as much as possible? What do you think, fellow Daoists?" Hua Feiwu nodded and asked with a serious expression.
"Will the four demonic sects agree to peace talks? Even if they agree, they'll have to cede a lot of territory! "Shangguan Yu said with a frown.
"Whether they agree or not is a matter for the two of us. Even if they don't negotiate peace, can we hold on? You must know that this time, it's not only the four sects of Qi Country that are invading other countries. The demonic sects of other countries are also invading the countries where the righteous sects are located. When the neighboring countries of Wu Country are taken down, it'll be even more impossible for us to hold on to Wu Country. Instead of that, why don't we negotiate peace and preserve our strength as much as possible? What do you think, fellow Daoists? "Shen Yi asked with a straight face.
Zhang Xi and the other four looked at each other and nodded to show their agreement.
Peace talks could preserve their strength to the greatest extent, so they had no reason to disagree.
"Good. Since all of you agree, I'll immediately send a letter to the four sects of Qi Country and arrange a time to discuss the peace talks." Hua Feiwu's face lit up with joy and he said with a smile.
